Dads on a Mission...
What happens when a group of dads lace up their boots, raise their flags and take to the hills? You get Peaks with a Purpose — a hiking challenge full of camaraderie, all in aid of 2 great causes close to our hearts, DadSpace & Breast Cancer Now!
Checkout the hike video below, featuring our very own 80s themed DadSpace sound track!
13 Dads tackled the demanding 16km hike across the stunning Pen y Fan horseshoe ridge in the Brecon Beacons. Over 25,000 steps, 6 hours of hiking, and 4 peaks conquered. This wasn’t just a stroll in the park — it was a serious mission with a powerful purpose: raising funds and awareness for men’s mental health and supporting the amazong women in our live's who may need support from Breast Cancer Now, today or tomorrow.
It's time to say thank you!
Thanks to the incredible support from our community, friends, families and colleagues, we’ve raised over £4,000 on our main fundraising page and one of our members is generously receiving match funding from his employer and has currently raised over £800 for DadSpace, which when doubled our combined total from the hike is over £5,500 – and counting! But let’s not pretend it's all smooth sailing…
"With my sister Emily going through chemotherapy and her partner Gary hiking beside me, the talking piece cirle at the top was very emotional. So proud of everyone that took part and those that have donated." Denver King - Director
From BBQs to summit views, the day was full of moments we’ll never forget.
At the summit, we paused. We reflected. We talked about why we were hiking. Just as we do in our in our sessions. It was more than just reaching the top of a mountain — it was hard and it was emotional. We could have stayed at home or taken an easy route, but we chose to fight on, one step after another. Proving that if you are determined, you can achieve anything.
Now the Highlight Real
"Seeing the messages of support as the donations came in and the guys enjoying time together as Brothers was a real highlight for me. " Michael Bright - Director
Peaks for a Purpose wasn’t just a challenge — it was a celebration of what it means to be part of something bigger. A tribe. A brotherhood. With space to grow, you can grow too.
Thank you to everyone who hiked, donated, supported, and cheered us on. Your generosity helps DadSpace continue to support dads and family's across Kent, Medway and beyond!
